Out on the dock You asked for my heart So many times it was torn apart This one is different I lied to myself but it was ok Sometimes smiles minimize pain Doubt in the back of my mind I show you my scars My ocean of secrets My oasis of truth My bottles full of past things I never let go Reopen old wounds for you Very unconventional But it was you and you deserved to know You broke bottle after bottle when I begged you to stop Tore out my heart and left me dying on the dock No tears fell from my eyes You looked into mines, turned around and never took a second glance But I begged for you to come back and help me Screamed your name but you ignored As my blood mixed with the salt in the ocean I saw into the future You with another girl Where was I Out on the dock Waiting for something that wasn't going to happen Unconventional and unintentionally I cut off anything that could've healed me Surrounded my self with glass Bound by the past Love I couldn't let go of held me back

Love and the Dock
Out on the dock You asked for my heart So many times it was torn apart This one is different I lied to myself but it was ok Sometimes smiles minimize pain Doubt in the back of my mind I show you my scars My ocean of secrets My oasis of truth My bottles full of past things I never let go Reopen old wounds for you Very unconventional But it was you and you deserved to know You broke bottle after bottle when I begged you to stop Tore out my heart and left me dying on the dock No tears fell from my eyes You looked into mines, turned around and never took a second glance But I begged for you to come back and help me Screamed your name but you ignored As my blood mixed with the salt in the ocean I saw into the future You with another girl Where was I Out on the dock Waiting for something that wasn't going to happen Unconventional and unintentionally I cut off anything that could've healed me Surrounded my self with glass Bound by the past Love I couldn't let go of held me back
